Below Eq. (1) in Ref. [1], the statement “${\mathbf{E}}_0(\mathbf{r})=e^{i{\mathbf{k}}_0•\mathbf{r}}{\mathbf{e}}_0$ is the incident electric field (a three dimensional vector)” should be replaced by the following:

${\mathbf{E}}_0(\mathbf{r})$ is the electric field in the absence of scatterers, which takes the form $E_{0j}(\mathbf{r})=T_{0j}{e}^{i{\mathbf{k}}_0•\mathbf{r}}+R_{0j}{e}^{i{\mathbf{k}}_0^{\prime }•\mathbf{r}}$, where ${\mathbf{k}}_0$ (${\mathbf{k}}_0^{\prime }$) is an incident (reflected) wave vector in the ambient. [${({\mathbf{k}}_0^{\prime })}_z=-({\mathbf{k}}_0{)}_z$] $R_{0j}$ and $T_{0j}$ denote the $j$-component $(j=x,y,z)$ reflection and transmission coefficients for the multilayer system without scatterers.
